    Believe It or Not, You Can Face the Day With Little to No Caffeine

    Caffeine is an integral part of daily life for many. Food and beverage manufacturers are capitalizing on our consumption beyond daily cups of coffee, putting the stimulant in everyday foods like donuts and bottled beverages, including water. However, too much caffeine may affect our health, leading the Caffeine Awareness Alliance to designate March as National Caffeine Awareness Month.

    Self-reflection is natural as we transition between years, and sometimes doing so can be difficult.
